Look for faulty apps
Sometimes, Bluetooth issues might be due to a wrong application that uses Bluetooth.

To see if an app is a cause for your problem, you’ll have to run Samsung Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10 Plus in Safe Mode:

- Turn on your device
- Once you feel it vibrating or when it shows the Samsung logo on the screen, press and hold the Volume Down key
- Hold the button pressed until your Home Screen appears on the display
- Release the Volume Down key, and you should now see the Safe Mode watermark in the lower-left corner of the smartphone
If in Safe Mode your device’s Bluetooth works, then a third-party app is the cause for issues. Accordingly, you can see which app you’ve used lately, and you can uninstall any suspicious application that might use Bluetooth.
